AMPHETAMINE

[Verse 1: Hannah Mee, Jim Shaw] Knock me out before you leave 'cause I'm not alright Hold me down 'cause I'm restless all through the night Drag me through open doors of the Betty Ford 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine I can't sleep, the monsters under my bed are now On TV parading round in their paper crowns And it's hard to ignore like I did before 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine [Pre-Chorus: Hannah Mee, Jim Shaw] Wade through the shit in my mind Thrashing and beating combined Stressing regression is winning this time Flawed by design New world disorder at war Bullets that litter school halls Hate and sedate is the law Power-hungry carnivores [Chorus: Hannah Mee, Jim Shaw] Sleepless nights a curse of modern life 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine Bite my nails I paint with cyanide 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine [Verse 2: Jim Shaw] Suck me dry, under rule of parasites Watch them try, sell a sacrificial suicide Bleach my eyes and my mind in a world unkind And dose me with amphetamine [Chorus: Hannah Mee, Jim Shaw] Sleepless nights a curse of modern life 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine Bite my nails I paint with cyanide 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine [Post-Chorus: Julian Comeau] Do they want us dead or alive? I can tell that either one would be just fine Endlessly empty, consuming up the time They love to tell you that it's all in your mind (All in your mind, all…) [Bridge: Hannah Mee] Knock me out before you leave 'cause I'm not alright Hold me down 'cause I'm restless all through the night Drag me through open doors of the Betty Ford ('Cause they dose me with amphetamine) [Chorus: Hannah Mee, Jim Shaw, Julian Comeau, Jim Shaw & Julian Comeau, /Jim Shaw & Hannah Mee/] Sleepless nights a curse of modern life 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine /Bite my nails I paint with/ cyanide 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine Sleepless nights a curse of modern life 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine Bite my nails I paint with cyanide 'Cause they dose me with amphetamine
